\ WonderfnI Watch DsaI
From the Jewelry News. ]

A gentleman connected with the Illinois
 Watch company has wonderfully curious
 watch-dial. Instead of Roman numerals to denote the hours there are eleven small but very distinct silhouette figures, representing
 man out with his dog for days sport. At o'clock he IS starting out with his gun and dog; st 8 o'clock he makes 8 shot; at 9 o'clock he has sandhill crane which measures as long as himself; at 10 o'clock the man and his dog are scared at the sight of a jack rabbit, which is sitting upon his hind legs, with his big long ears raised above the bushes; at II o'clock the hunter takes 8 drink, and while in this attitude the dog sits in front of his master, with his nose pointing directly at the flask; at 12 o'clock the sportsman Is seen sitting on stump, and is eating a lunch and the dog IS eyeing the piece of bread which the hunter has in his hand. At 1 o'clock he starts out to fish the rest of the day, and so he takes his dog and fishing tackle, and goes to the water; at 3 o clock the dog, which is behind his master has been caught with the hook by an at tempt to throw in his line; at o'clock he and the dog are all strengthened out again, and the line Is in the water; he has both hands on the pole, and his foot braced on stump by the water's edge as though he had tremendous bite; at o'clock the man has get big fish on his line, which has pulled him off his feet, and he falls on the dog and doubles him all up, but the man is holding fast to the pole, which is bent almost dou- ble; at o'clock he is all straightene d out again; hispole is thrown across his shoulder,
 and with his fish in the other hand he starts for home, the dog following behind with his head hanging down, being all tired out. The mans name is also painted in the center l of the dial in rustic letters. The dial reflects 1 great deal of credit upon the artist, MT Charles Geyer. The figure VI. is superseded by the seconds.

 The time is coming when we can all have gems that are rich and rare, or, at least, seem to be so. Though the appearance of arti6- cial precious stones is now 50 exactly imita- tive of the genuine article as to render the judgment even of an expert at fault, it is claimed that the test of hardness is still in- fallible. Thus the beautiful French paste from which such attractive imitation dia- monds are made is kind of glass with 8 mixture of oxide of lead, the more of the latter the brighter the stone, but also the softer, and this latter is the serious defect But by cares ful selection of the ingredients, and skill and manipulation, the lustre, color, fire and water of the choicest stones are to the eyes of the ordinary purchaser fully reproduced; there are few delicacies of color that can- on some undiseoverable peculiarities of mole cular arrangement, and not on chemical omposition-these, however, not being ap- parent to the uninitiated. M. Sidot, how ever, a well known French chemist, is re- ported to have nearly reproduced the pecu- liarities in question-inclueing the dichro- ism of the sapphire-by means of compo- sitien, of which the base is phosphate of lime; and other chemists have produced rubies and sapphires having the same com position as the genuine stones and almost as hard

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
 Germany has been troubled with labor problem for long time, and in dealing with it some very interesting experiments have been tried. Perhaps the most interesting IS that now in progress under the direction Of the imperial government, which seeks to in- sure workingmen against sickness and acci- dent. The fund for insurance is drawn en- tirely from the employers of labor and is supposed to provide only for accidents and disease incurred in the course of business.
 The law has been in operation some time. though not long enough perhaps to fully test it. But it has worked in some respects very much as it might have been expected to. The courts have baen liberal toward the working men in their interpretation of it. For in- stance, in one case the final court of appear has decided that the widow of Q mason who was struck by lightning could recover insur- anee money from his employers; while in another case an employe who injured himself by practising gymnastics in violation ot ex- press orders was permitted to recover dam ages from the firm for which he worked. Again, the possibility of securing support during sickness or incapacity results in vast amount of fraudulent misrepresentation, and when laborer has once obtained a pension for partial disability he is found unwilling to do ereu the easier work which his crippled condition would permit.
 Thus the law has proved an encouragement to fraud and idleness Of course there are many workingmen in Germany, as in other countries, who would, if they could, take advantage of such law to live easily. And it is probable that this difficulty with the law will grow more serious instead of less. The plan is one that would hardly be tried anywhere but in Germany. It will doubtless have fair and full trial there, as the gov ernment is interested in the matter. It will be surprising if it succeeds. The signs cer- tainly do not point that way now.

 Experiments have recently been made in Denmark with steel shields, invented by Cap tain Holstein of the Danish army, and in- tended to give cover to two men. When not in use they are folded up and then occupy an

 two at the bottom. They are to be used in 1 what is known as stationary defence.

In Atlanta (Georgia) the city water is filtered, and apparently with success. The first test was made with twelve filters, each
 of ten feet, guaranteed to supply three mil
 lions of gallons day of purified water. It was found that these filters gained so fast on the capacity of the pumps, which were of a capacity of four millions of gallons per twelve hours, that three of the filters were shut off and nine of them were used. The dark colored water after passing through the filters was as clear as water could possibly be; objects at the bottom of the basin could
 be plainly seen by moonlight through twenty
 feet of water. The impurities are retained in the beds and are washed out each day.

On the front of the car is the rotary shovel which gathers up the snow, and it can be run as fast as 300 revolutions per minute. The snow passes back and is expelled from Q spout on top of the car, being thrown far to one side. The apparatus is pushed by loco motive and can go through a snowdrift six or seven feet deep at the rate of fifteen or twenty miles an hour.
